Haiz...Was planning to read the Pride And Prejudice to Chpt 20 by 5pm today..but manage to only finish up to Chpt 16...sigh.....

Decided to put up some quotes from the novel, They are as follows:


-'A woman must have a throughout knowledge of music,singing,drawing,dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word; and besides all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word will be but half-deserved' The word is- accomplished :)

-'There is meanness in all the arts which ladies sometimes condescend to employ for captivation. Whatever bears affinity to cunning is despicable.' PS: These are not my words!!!

-'to be so easily seen through I am afraid is pitiful'

-'who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!'

-'The wisest and the best of men -nay, the wisest and best of their actions- may be rendered ridiculous by a person whose first object in life is a joke!'

-'Vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride- where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulations'

-'There is, I believe, in every disposition a tendency to some particular evil- a nautral defect, which not even the best education can overcome'

-'Society has claims on us all'

I duno whether these will make sense to some people anot, but it makes some sense to me..haha!!

Continue another post later or tomorrow or at a later date...
